So on Lightlocker there are two GNOME sessions. Both of them are only X11 sessions. I confirmed by using loginctl show-session c5 -p Type and got Type=x11 on both of them. So I disabled LightDM and used GDM and wayland shows up with that command. So is not using Wayland on Antergos a Dev decision or is something not working? If it is a dev decision, will there be an update to turn on Wayland without user intervention in the future when they feel it is ready?

@just That’s what I wanted to know. I’ve never heard about LightDM not starting Wayland because I never used LightDM and I don’t think it’s fair to assume everyone has heard about that. If LightDM doesn’t support Wayland then I don’t understand why it’s installed and set up by default (at least for GNOME desktops).

@just That sounds logical on why LightDM is set up. I’d probably include branding in there as well since it’s easier to theme with it than say GDM. It’s interesting that this page says it does support multiple display servers: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM/
But after some searching it does seem many people can’t get Wayland to work with LightDM.

My primary concern was that, when whatever was not letting Wayland and LightDM work was fixed that I wouldn’t get that fix because it was maybe something in a config file somewhere. I’d hope a package update for LightDM fixes the issue.
